Thrust Fail

Hello everyone.

I am some way into my first quad build - a 3DR APM kit. 

The main problem I am having at the moment is with thrust. I just don't have enough. If I raise the throttle after even a slow descent, I often end up bouncing off the ground at full throttle.

When I run auto review on the logs, that confirms my problem - ie average altitude gain is too low for average throttle input.

This isn't a weight issue - my quad is bare basics, just the frame, APM and GPS.

Has anyone come across this problem before? I'm at a loss.

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Mike,

    Both stabilise and loiter- although I think I was flying mostly in loiter so that may have been when I had the syptoms.

    Either way though mission planner indicates thrust fail when running auto review.

  • What flight mode are you flying in?
